First crack at uptiding today on sea -otter 2

[big cod]

The wreck fishing of late has been excellent with shads hammering the cod but toaday with the wind forcast being quite strong i decided to have a crack inshore uptiding .
The storm we had earlyer in the week was big and i new cod would have come well inshore in droves its getting to that time of year late september that the uptiding is just round the corner but what a surprize the lads got today with cod and ling both in double figures with other cod upto and around the 7lb mark all the indications point to a massive upting season.

This man nails a cod of 13lb,

Gets another around 7lb.

This man gets his 1st of the day.

Fish are coming thick and fast.

Up pops a lobster.

Dave gets one about 6lb.

Anice cod for this lad.

A wrasse comes aboard.

This man thinks he has a good cod on but he is wrong.

Its a nice ling.

This man gets first ever cod not a big one but he is chuffed,

All in all the lads caught some cod only a few hundred mtrs from the shore an early start to the uptiding season.

Good result Paul, do you find any particular bait fishes best, worm, crab, squid, for uptiding.

Squid took the 13lb fish but black and squid fished ok ithere was a few on edible peelers having a go tommorow got plenty of crab cart to try interesting to see how we go on it is the early for uptiding another 2 or 3 weeks before we start usually but it looks like a good season ahead.

A beginner's guide to uptide fishing

I do sometimes have a laugh when i read the does and donts the majority of uptiding or downtiding, downtiding is nearly all done in this part of the world we are genrally fishing hard ground and casting uptide when you get a fish on and it breaks your lead out very often you get jammed up so its better downtiding .
Also i tend to fish on roughly ground in 60ft of water so there is no scare area under the boat infact nearly all the biggist cod we have had while doing this sort of fishing have been with lads just dropping down the side of the boat there is one thing with this sort of fishing its great fun catching quality fish in shallow water if you like shore fishing you would allmost defernetly love this type of fishing on a boat the rigs are very similar.
